People didn't think a new fancy car brand called Lexus, made by Toyota just to make money, would be successful. They said Mercedes-Benz already makes reliable luxury cars, so who would buy Lexus? But it turns out lots of people worldwide do. They sell over 700,000 each year!
These cars are comfortable as well as luxurious and very reliable. They also have some cool designs, like the LFA coupe made from carbon fiber, that can go really fast. People loved the RX SUV because it was comfy and could do a lot of things. Now, Lexus is also making cars that use both gas and electricity to be better for the environment, like the hybrid ES and LS.
